Swiss Franc soars despite dovish statement.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The USD\/CHF pair retreated sharply from three-month tops and dropped to fresh session low as the pair suffered aggressive long-unwinding trade after the SNB announced its latest monetary policy decision and set the deposits rate unchanged at -0.75. In the accompanying statement, the central bank claimed that implementation of expansionary monetary policy is necessary if the economy performance weaker than expected. In fact, the SNB also reiterated the willingness to intervene the Forex Market if necessary and lowered its inflation and GDP forecast for 2019. On the other hand, USD\/JPY quoted down after hitting almost one month highest level to its highest level since early August after the Federal Reserve refrained from providing any hints regarding the next policy movement despite announcing a 25 basis point interest rate cut. Earlier yesterday, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept its interest rate unchanged at -0.10% as expected. However, BoJ Governor Kuroda also claimed that they would not hesitate to implement a further rate cut if there is a risk that for the economy to suffer recessions and unable to achieve its price goal. Besides, according to Statistics Bureau, the Japan National Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at 0.5%, weaker than the previous month reading of 0.6%. Hence, a decrease in CPI could put the Japanese Yen under bearish pressure as it would cause investors to start pricing a dovish shift in the BoJ\u2019s monetary policy. As of writing, USD\/CHF slump 0.16% to 0.9909 and USD\/JPY depreciated by 0.07% to 107.910.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price rose 0.27% to $58.770 per barrel after Saudi-led coalition launched a military operation in the north of Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah, and United States worked with Middle East and European nations to build a coalition to deter Iranian threats after the Saudi attack. On the other hand, gold price rose 0.33% to 1503.78 per troy ounces as a result of risk aversion due to escalation of global tensions.<\/p>\n
